2018 UPDATE ON STEINEM SISTERS COLLECTION:

We have great news. Steinem's Sisters Collection! Originally named "The Steinem's Sister's Library" by People Called Women Bookstore (PCW) in Toledo where it was housed in it's beginning stages, was donated to the Toledo Lucas County Public Library(TLCPL). It is now called the Steinem Sisters Collection and is being housed at the Main Library. Members of the original PCW Collective who founded the collection in 2014 and worked to build it, serve on the library's Advisory Board for their Steinem's Sisters Collection.

There are book discussions and Talking Circles that continue to gather. PCW is thrilled that the TLCPL has agreed to take it over, and very excited because this means the collection will be maintained, expanded, and readily accessible to the broader community.

The Steinem Sisters Collection at Main Library is a feminist collection created to celebrate the lives and achievements of women, to champion their historical, cultural and political contributions, and to provide a welcoming space for women to share their truth and ideas.

This Steinem Sisters Collection was made possible due to a generous donation by The Steinem’s Sisters Collective.
